4:00
People are. Yeah, we're really just trying
4:02
to make it through this podcast today because there's a lot of
4:04
things working against us. Here gonna struggle, truly it
4:08
has my dogs barking. This is my boyfriend's, making
4:11
its kitchen, making dinner in the other room.
4:13
It's like there are airplanes flying over my house non-stop at
4:17
this point. My stomach pumps showing off.
4:20
Its just one of our goals in 2022 was not stop being a mess.
4:25
So you're just going to have to do and also there's no money for
4:31
building a real sound booth. So this is the reality.
4:34
No, this is what we have earlier with it but we kind of love it,
4:38
too. It's our, it's our thing that
4:39
keeps us humble. Yes.
4:44
So what are we actually discussing this week?
4:48
My dear space twin. Oh, a thing that we both feel
4:52
prickly about I think. Yes, we're prickly prick.
4:55
We is the word did Padme. Amidala died of a broken heart.
5:00
No short answer. No, see you next week.
5:02
No, thanks for stepping in, folks.
5:06
Yep, bye bye. No, it's it's there's a lot more
5:09
to it but you and I both feel pretty strongly that the answer
5:12
to that. Question is no yeah it just rubs
5:16
me the wrong way, completely considering the characters
5:20
backstory. Yeah, I mean Padme was no
5:25
Delicate flower. No, it's by anniversary shied
5:29
away from a challenge. No.
5:32
And yes, some shit happened there at the end of Revenge of
5:38
the Sith but The parallel that I can't get over that.
5:43
I really think is the reason why she died.
5:47
I mean, the theory out there is that the shit that happened at
5:50
the end of Revenge of the Sith. She had her babies and then she
5:53
just passed away because Anakin was gone.
5:57
So, to speak for had changed turned into Vader, Etc.
6:01
That's the standing. Theory, I guess.
6:06
Yeah, I don't know. A lot of people have made memes
6:10
about it. Like, I'll Pat me.
6:12
She died of a sad sadness and Pad me.
6:15
Yes, sad Padme. Like yeah, she was sad, but like
6:19
she had a lot of shit to be sad about prior to that too and she
6:22
never withered away. Yeah, you know, it's not like
6:25
her life was exactly all rainbows and butterflies.
6:28
No, I mean, I mean it was one. It was just one challenge after
6:34
another, for this. And we'll, all of attack of the
6:36
Clones was basically one giant assassination attempt.
6:40
Yes. And we've seen in the Clone Wars
6:42
series, she's been tried to be she has it has been tried over
6:48
and over to kill this woman, you know, she's been poisoned.
6:53
She's been, you know, assassins getting in place to, you know,
6:59
throw overthrow her and the rest of the Senate and bunch of other
7:02
senators and You know. Yeah.
7:06
But come on. Well and what wasn't she like
7:08
the youngest Queen ever of now? Yes, and absolutely.
7:12
And instantly went from that and to being a senator, which is
7:15
just mind-blowing to me, you know?
7:18
Well she 25 what I was doing when I was 25.
7:22
Not even close. Nope.
7:28
Yeah, it's you shames me? Yes, she was choose pretty
7:33
badass. The shit she was juggling.
7:36
Yeah was okay. And then she becomes pregnant
7:39
with a Jedi's child which they only thought they were having
7:43
one until you know, true popped out us.
7:45
Oh my God, there's a second one and there's two of them.
7:49
No. Do you actually think this woman
7:53
who is so dedicated to any cause she truly believed in would
7:58
abandon her children because of of the sads No, no not at all.
8:04
I don't see her. Being that kind of parent know
8:08
like have the kids and then fucking bail and just leave her
8:12
chat like it did that it does it sounds ridiculous because it is
8:15
yeah. Yeah, and it's just, it's, it
8:19
takes this woman who was a powerful female character, I'm
8:24
using air quotes here, because it's like a yes or phrase and
8:28
yeah, no, pop culture, she's the entire prequels sets, her up and
8:37
establishes her. Is this like a strong-willed
8:40
woman? This intelligent woman intuitive
8:42
woman and then to turn it on its head and have her Is there and
8:48
die from sadness? It's just like And I don't know
8:52
if George Lucas has ever explained.
8:54
What has killed her but I like the fan theories.
8:58
You know much better than the idea that like she literally
9:01
just lost the will to live. I think that's what the Droid
9:05
says about her. You know, they can't explain it
9:08
will to live the will to live. No, her two children are her
9:14
will to live. Yeah.
9:16
You don't think she would have stuck around to make sure like
9:19
it just doesn't make any sense. Like well, in her dying breath
9:23
was that she still believe there's good and Anakin.
9:25
So, she's just so strong in her conviction.
9:31
I just don't see it. She was someone who dedicated
9:36
herself to whatever she needed to dedicate herself to.
9:40
And I believe that she would have definitely Catered herself
9:43
to those children. As she would have been an
9:47
excellent mother, we see her motherly Tendencies towards
9:49
Ahsoka towards other people. She didn't even know, but that
9:53
were in need, she was willing to sacrifice herself over and over
9:58
and over for the greater good. Yeah, you know, in many
10:02
instances, in the Clone Wars television show, so I just don't
10:06
see like her losing that at the end, her giving that up, you
10:11
know, she's too strong of a person.
10:14
To just wither and die from whatever losing her will to
10:18
live. There is she didn't lose
10:19
anything. It was taken from her.
10:21
Yeah, I believe by Palpatine. Yeah.
10:25
Yeah. That's a me.
10:26
Had the ability to do it. Well, they say write that he
10:30
drained her life and put it into Anakin.
10:32
Yeah. And I actually believe that 100%
10:35
Anakin was barely alive. Yeah, it's crazy.
10:38
And it was alive at all after what he had been through.
10:41
Yes. And then what, they put him
10:43
through to Ian like attach those metal arms and Limbs and yeah,
10:49
fix that skin. And when he at the end of
10:52
Revenge of the Sith when he like comes to and stands up and is
10:56
fully Vader, and he asks, where Padme has Palpatine, says it
11:00
appears in your anger, you killed her and that has never
11:05
made sense to me. Yeah, you know, without any kind
11:08
of like researching and X getting an explanation from
11:13
fandom Basically is opposed to like from the filmmakers in the
11:17
theater. I was like he killed her with
11:19
his anger when like, well. I think Palpatine was using him
11:25
for choking her on Mustafar. He blamed he set it up.
11:30
So that Vader thought that he killed her there on.
11:33
Mustafar, do you think he that Palpatine even knew like, how
11:38
did Palpatine oh padmé was even on Mustafar.
11:43
I always wondered if you just said that so that it would make
11:46
Anakin even angrier and Like, well, if that's definitely why
11:51
he told him that. I'm not sure if he meant, I
11:55
don't know if he knew about Mustafar, it seems you could use
11:58
the excuse that Palpatine knew everything.
12:00
Sure, you know, but I'm not sure if he knew the specific story,
12:05
if you just straight made that up and it just so happened.
12:08
That Vader would have recalled in that moment Force choking her
12:12
on most of, I don't think that Anakin it in that moment, on
12:17
Mustafar intended to kill her. yeah, he just put her off to the
12:26
side if you will. Yeah.
12:28
Because his real his real issue was with Obi-Wan in that moment.
12:32
Yeah, I don't know. But then again, when you are in
12:35
a fit of blind rage, I don't even know if you're thinking
12:41
correctly and clearly Anakin was not.
12:43
He was strictly driven by emotion.
12:47
Yeah, there was no common sense. There was no.
12:52
You know anything that was helping him other than his just
12:55
his blind rage. It was clearly not premeditated.
12:58
It just happened in the moment because he like Snapped on a
13:00
dime. As soon as he saw everyone
13:02
standing in the doorway of the shuttle, then he was like you're
13:09
in cahoots and now I hate you both.
13:11
Yeah. That was its or any other
13:14
situation, he probably would never have thought that.
13:17
Can you imagine thinking that at all?
13:18
I mean that's I mean, come on. Can this I know I love Anakin
13:22
but damn, like really, you're going to go to that.
13:25
I always found that annoying because they started
13:27
establishing that with one seen previously, where Padme said
13:32
that, Obi-Wan it stopped by to say goodbye, before he left for
13:36
utapau. Mmm, and Anakin was like,
13:39
Obi-Wan was here like, without my permission.
13:41
I was like that came out of nowhere that he was suddenly
13:44
jealous of Obi-Wan's times with Padme and that was, I just think
13:49
that's weak storytelling. But it is.
13:53
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, definitely.
13:55
It like turned on a dime, too fast for me in that scene for
13:59
him to, like suddenly be jealous and like assume that Padme was
14:03
betraying him. Well, you could, you could
14:07
reason. Now, I'm not, I'm not for this
14:10
storyline. I am not here for this Theory.
14:12
I'm not here trying to back up the fact that Anakin rightfully
14:15
got jealous of Obi-Wan, but you could, if you think about the
14:19
final seasons of Clone Wars prior to season 7, he did have
14:23
The Clovis. Jealousy.
14:28
That's true. So, mmm, I mean, maybe filoni
14:32
and Company put the, you know, that was the beginning of him
14:37
Miss trusting. Mmm.
14:39
Padmé a little, and then Obi-Wan, did it.
14:41
And all of a sudden, he's just like, why is this keep
14:43
repeating? I'm just trying to think of it
14:44
from, but at the time, there was no Clone Wars.
14:48
Yeah, TV show. So we just have to go off of
14:52
what Lucas did. And it was weak, storytelling.
14:55
Yes. Yeah.
14:55
But I do agree with you that it like with Clone Wars put in
14:59
there, it kind of makes more sense and like from what I've
15:02
heard George Lucas was trying to tell a huge story in Revenge of
15:06
the Sith. It was like he was trying to
15:08
connect to Giant story lines by putting Revenge of the Sith in
15:13
there and it was like really he needed the length of the Clone
15:17
Wars to truly establish, that characters downfall properly.
15:23
Isn't there like a five-hour, unedited Revenge of the Sith
15:26
that people are constantly Asking for yeah, give us that or
15:33
filoni. We politely and humbly request
15:36
that. You just redo Revenge of the
15:37
Sith in animated form. Oh, that would be cool.
15:41
That would be real. I mean, I like holy shit.
15:44
Don't dislike Revenge of the Sith.
15:45
I love it either. I think it's a great movie.
15:48
It's the best of the prequels in my opinion, for sure.
15:53
And it's very, it just has weak Parts.
15:56
Like every other movie, every movie.
15:57
Yeah, exactly. Every move.
15:59
He's gonna have something like that.
16:00
I just like the way Padme was treated at the end, just his
16:04
always made me really angry because she was, we have talked
16:10
about this before that. There's a lot of like
16:12
inconsistency with her where she's like saying no, but
16:16
meaning yes and some. Yeah, exactly, yes, yeah I guess
16:20
it's not totally out of left field that the writer Is would
16:24
be writing her in contrast. But I don't think it's true to
16:29
the character. I mean, granted if it was
16:32
Palpatine draining her life. Yes.
16:33
Then I think it makes sense, nothing.
16:35
She did makes a lot of sense. Nothing.
16:37
She did would have been able to stop that or change that no
16:39
matter how powerful she was, or how strong-willed she was,
16:44
right? And of course, obviously she had
16:46
to She had to die because of the way, everything was established
16:52
in the original trilogy. I've always thought that line
16:55
though. That Leia says, remember when
16:58
Luke is asking, you know, tell me about your mother.
17:00
What do you remember? And she says she was very
17:03
beautiful but sad and she just remembers images and feelings of
17:07
her. Like I've always wondered what
17:10
that like why was there that disconnect there between what
17:14
George Lucas? He was writing the scripts
17:16
himself like wouldn't have known that.
17:17
There was like Disconnect there. Well the the way I always took
17:22
that Leo line was two different ways, one sheet because of her
17:27
strength in the force Leia's. She could probably feel an
17:31
imprint of her mother in those final moments.
17:33
Maybe and yes Padme was sad at the end because something was
17:37
happening to her, it wasn't working and she knew that there
17:40
was something wrong with Anakin. And so all of that was probably
17:44
imprinted and perhaps Leia being more of a I mean, Luke's kind of
17:50
a feeler, but I feel like Leia, understood people at that, Luke
17:54
doesn't, but she had that. She was a leader.
17:58
I mean, she was a leader of people and you have to
18:00
understand people in order to lead them, so, I feel like it
18:03
was her first brush at. I almost want to say like an
18:07
empath. Hmm, you know, empath Tendencies
18:10
even as a newborn baby, but the other thing is, maybe bail
18:14
showed her Clips or are to showed her Clips could be.
18:18
That's a really good point. I mean bail and Bree how loved
18:23
Padme so I don't think that they would have kept it, you know, as
18:26
a secret like, this was your real mother, you know.
18:29
Yeah. That that's exactly what I was
18:31
going to say, like, because Luke says, do you remember your
18:35
mother your Mother. So I assume that Leia always
18:38
knew. She was adopted, right?
18:40
Yes. Yeah, I think so.
18:41
Yes. Yeah, yes.
18:42
And it's actually some of that is revealed in the Bloodlines
18:46
novel. That Baal was forthcoming with
18:51
that information. And in fact, the the way that
18:55
she finds out that she's Vader's daughter, You know, really?
18:59
I mean, outside of the books, like there's evidence that gets
19:03
out that bail left her you know that I don't want to spoil it
19:05
for anyone who hasn't read it, but there's more to it.
19:08
But interesting, I'll never kept it.
19:09
A secret internetting Padme was her mother.
19:12
I heard to, I think it's in a graphic novel that are, maybe
19:15
it's in this book where she's passing.
19:17
I think I'm not 100% sure. So I don't want to mislead
19:21
anybody but it's like Leia is I think on Naboo, but she's seeing
19:25
like a stained glass window. That has padme's image in it and
19:32
she has like a moment like a vision there, something like
19:35
that and I've never read that but I've always been interested.
19:38
And people were saying that explains like what Leia was
19:41
saying to Luke, but like, of course, when those movies were
19:44
written and even when the prequels were written, none of
19:46
that content existed. So like it's all good.
19:50
It's all explained now. I guess but like, in the moment,
19:53
it was kind of like, what are you talking about?
19:57
Yeah. That's kind of beautiful with
20:00
the stained glass in the yeah, I want to find that would be
20:02
night. I want to find that peace and
20:04
read it because I've always found that interesting.
20:08
The idea of that interesting. I 100% subscribe to the theory
20:12
that in order to make sure Anakin lived enough to get him
20:18
in that suit Palpatine had to drain some one of their life
20:22
force and Padme was the obvious choice.
20:25
Yeah, considering she was in the middle of birth.
20:28
She just had this asphyxiation moment from her husband.
20:34
It was the perfect plot for him to use that against Anakin, in
20:37
some way and to successfully remove her because she was a
20:42
problem. Yeah.
20:43
If she had lived, she would have been a very huge problem.
20:47
Oh my God. If you Google what killed Padme
20:52
Amidala in, giant letters, it comes up as broken heart.
20:57
I can't. Yeah, I will not mmm.
21:01
Who decided this? Who made this.
21:06
Is it seriously? What happens when you Google it?
21:08
Yeah well we're here to reroute with it's on Wikipedia.
21:13
That's where it's coming from. Now look I have words Wikipedia
21:19
we follow you on Twitter and you follow us back and you interact
21:22
with us because we love each other here.
21:24
Can you change that please? Do I have to tweet you privately
21:30
and ask you to change that this is a direct message to Wikipedia
21:34
and yes I will Tweeting you about this.
21:39
You are our favorite look. I mean I said it time and time
21:42
before that is the official explanation.
21:45
So I'm not accepting it. Nope.
21:49
Yeah. I mean we know it's possible to
21:51
pull life force from one being and give it to another.
21:55
It happens in the Clone Wars when yes in the mortise arc.
22:00
When a soap? Yes dies and gesture or the
22:03
daughter sacrifices the rest of the The remainder of her life to
22:07
bring Ahsoka back to life and she was almost dead.
22:11
So, and but that was still enough Life Force to like revive
22:14
Ahsoka. So it is possible, you know,
22:16
that Pebble this happens in Lord of the Rings to read because,
22:20
you know, we love Lord of the Rings on this podcast, but Arwen
22:24
gave her life force. Her her immortality Life Force
22:29
to Frodo early on, in The Fellowship of the, of the Ring,
22:34
really And that's really how he was able to go on is because he
22:38
had the morgul knife fragment in his chest there, and it would
22:42
have slowly killed him and he was near death.
22:45
And then she just transferred it over to him to get him, the rest
22:48
of the way, you know, to keep him alive until they could work
22:51
on him and fix up those. She died because of that.
22:55
Well, she became mortal which is what she wanted.
22:57
Anyway, so she could be with Aragorn so.
23:01
Oh well, that's that's romantic. It's convenient.
23:05
As well, but she didn't do it thinking of Aragorn in that
23:09
moment. She did it out of desperation
23:11
for the ring bearer. So she knew there was something
23:16
special about this Hobbit. She's not necessarily that he
23:20
was carrying the one ring at least in that moment maybe she
23:23
had an idea. I can't recall.
23:24
I've only read it like 15 times but whatever.
23:27
Well I know for sure that we have quite a few Lord of the
23:30
Rings fans who listen to us. Oh yeah, don't worry.
23:34
We're going to do a lord of the Rings episode.
23:36
I'm going to have to just be like a polite bystander on that
23:40
one because it's okay. I'll talk all episodes.
23:44
Maybe I should make like a list of questions and just ask you a
23:48
questions about Lord of the Rings, like make Star Wars.
23:51
Lord of the Rings comparisons and contrasting points and then
23:55
I'll explain them. That would be great.
23:57
You'll have to make the list of the comparisons because I don't
24:01
even know those. Anyway there's your tangent for
24:04
this. Episode gonna have at least one
24:08
it was it was it was it was it was connected.
24:12
It was connected because of our one is essentially, you know.
24:16
Yeah. So II.
24:20
I just don't believe she died of a broken heart and I can't wait
24:26
to hear what our fans think our listeners think.
24:28
Yes. You know, you're going to that's
24:31
going to be the question of this week is, do you think she died
24:33
of a broken heart or do you think that Palpatine had
24:35
something to do with it or was it just death from childbirth?
24:39
Because also not totally uncommon know, and I was going
24:43
to say like, is it just me? Or is that births?
24:45
A really weird? Well, there's a lot of dudes
24:50
just standing around in there watching her.
24:52
Yeah, I have children. And I mean, she's laying down,
24:56
flat, which, first of all, is the, if not impossible, most
25:00
typical way to give birth. Like, right back in the olden,
25:04
times, women give birth standing up because gravity because you
25:07
got a squat, you got squat, it helps you give birth of your if
25:11
you're standing because the gravity and then I can't
25:15
remember which king. Louis the 13th 14th 17th.
25:20
I can't remember wanted to watch his wife give birth so he made
25:24
her lie down and that's why women give birth laying down.
25:27
Now from what I've heard, I'm not an interest, not a full
25:30
historian on this so I'm not 100% sure have sent his
25:34
restaurant so that is interesting.
25:36
Padma he's like laying down almost tilted backwards which is
25:40
just doesn't work. Also that robot was like the
25:45
scoop arm like yeah, that's it. It I didn't I wasn't gonna bring
25:48
that up because it's gross. I don't like it.
25:51
But the table itself is kind of weird because instead of a sheet
25:55
they had like that cone. Yeah.
25:57
Like that tube thing that was over her.
25:59
I mean I get it. You have to make it look space.
26:01
AG. Also like there's no blood.
26:03
Come on now. Yeah, they that would they, they
26:06
came out real clear. Yeah, there'll be all kinds of
26:09
fluids all over the place on that stupid table.
26:12
Robots are no robots. It's true and it was a very
26:15
white clean. There's a lot of starch white
26:20
pure that, that would have. Yeah, very, I just well, they
26:25
also did that in comparison, because it had to be white
26:28
versus the dark black of the table that a Nikita's on.
26:32
Well, you know, I get it. If you put the two images
26:36
together, it's very clear, the Light Side, the dark side
26:40
excetera, but true, but very, and I really actually, yeah, I
26:44
really actually do appreciate the fact that if you're looking
26:47
at Anakin top down the table. He's on is becomes the Empire
26:52
symbol like, that's true. Yeah, which is, is kind of
26:54
similar to the Republic's symbol, right?
26:57
It's just kind of the inverse of it a little bit, but Loved it,
27:01
loved it. The symbolism is separate that
27:04
it's really amazing and like to have the birth and death and
27:09
rebirth like all there together. At the same time is amazing.
27:13
Just not a realistic birth just yeah.
27:18
Yeah it's always bothered me and like the babies come out all
27:21
like nice and wrapped in a little blanket.
27:23
They don't have like the like, whatever it is.
27:26
It's like the real babies born. They're covered in like a
27:29
grease. Yes, you know, and their bluish
27:33
because they haven't been breathing oxygen yet.
27:35
Yes, at least atmospheric oxygen.
27:38
So, yeah. And they were huge.
27:41
They were very big, yes, but we can excuse that for movie Tree.
27:44
You can't have a newborn on a movie set.
27:46
No, no. But she came up with the names
27:50
real fast. Do we ever get to know why she
27:52
named either of them? Luke or layouts a good.
27:54
We know this person. I don't know.
27:56
I don't know. I've never researched that and
27:58
like she must have maybe They were just names, she had picked
28:02
out whether she had a boy or a girl.
28:03
And then she ended up having both true, because that would
28:07
make the most sense, I would feel like Padme probably would
28:10
have known she was carrying twins, don't you feel like
28:13
somebody along the way? What a told her that was going
28:15
on? I feel like Anakin would have
28:17
been the one to know. Well, that's a good point.
28:20
It don't, they talk about that in the Revenge of the Sith
28:22
novel. So it's been a while.
28:25
Maybe I'm making that up. Hmm.
28:29
No, I think there's something that we're he sends to he sensed
28:31
it, because he can sense like the life inside her eye.
28:34
Yes, yes, yes. That's hmm.
28:37
I need to reread that book. It's great.
28:39
Yeah, me too, because it is excellent.
28:41
Matthew Stover. Does a bang-up fucking job on
28:43
writing? That shit.
28:44
It's one of the beautiful stuff in there.
28:46
It's one of the best Star Wars books out there.
28:48
It is beautiful written. Yeah, it's just been a really
28:52
long time since I read it. I read it to during a really
28:56
terrible time in my life. So I'm like, kind of a To reread
28:59
it because I only associated with that, but I need to, like,
29:03
find a happy way of bringing it back into my life instead,
29:07
because it was excellent. It really was it's, it was very
29:11
well done. So final consensus.
29:14
Myspace. Twin did Padme died of a broken.
29:17
Heart Buck. No, fuck, no there.
29:21
We don't believe it. We believe she was drained of
29:24
her life, her life, force her, life energy, She in order to
29:29
keep an account alive, it was the perfect setup so Palpatine
29:32
could get rid of someone who is a problem.
29:35
Yes. And increase the life force of
29:41
the man that he had been working.
29:43
So diligently, his entire fucking life to make into Vader.
29:46
Yeah. Yes.
29:47
Agreed. Well said, sorry, you don't take
29:51
a strong, smart intelligent, dedicated woman, And have her
29:57
die of a broken heart. It just doesn't make sense.
29:59
It's just it not when she has dedication to her two children
30:05
that she just birthed, she wouldn't give up on them.
30:07
No way. Yeah, I couldn't have said it
30:11
better myself. So as usual, we're going to turn
30:19
the conversation over to you guys.
30:23
What do you think did Padme? Amidala Queen.
30:26
The senator Jedi's wife? Yes.
30:30
Magnanimous lady, she died of a broken heart.
30:33
What do you think? What do you think, killed Padme?
30:35
Amidala. We would love to hear it.
30:37
Scooch over to our social media. Send us an email.
30:40
However you want to get in touch with us and let us know your
30:42
thoughts. And next week after such a heavy
30:45
topic, we're going to a very light and fun and fluffy topic
30:51
that topic we're dedicating an entire episode to the various
30:56
Forms of Obi-Wan's hair. Yes, you heard it.
30:59
We're talking about Obi-Wan's hair.
31:01
It's going to be glorious. And there's that one moment that
31:07
it's a mullet but he's just gonna say glorious and terrible.
31:12
And yeah, but we love it for its terribleness.
31:17
Its glorious even in its at its worst.
31:19
Yeah, that's what we're here to talk about next week, so join
31:22
us. So last week we talked about
31:27
baby Yoda and Luke and Ahsoka and all the ways that the Jedi
31:32
kind of tied together in the Mandalorian and we asked our
31:35
listeners what they thought about all of that.
31:37
And we got some really fun responses.
31:40
People agreed that Luke's voice, sounded kinda weird, it didn't
31:45
sound natural. It definitely sounded commute
31:48
like computer generated and that was a bit disappointing for
31:51
people. I totally agree with that
31:54
sentiment. I also agree.
31:55
Yes. And then we got a comment about
31:58
the darksaber which I very passionately found like totally
32:04
weird in the Mandalorian because it didn't seem to be in keeping
32:07
with the rules that we had already had established with the
32:10
darksaber and some folks listening to us agreed saying
32:14
that they had just watched Rebels and what happened to the
32:19
Mandalorian didn't match, the rules that have been established
32:21
in See, that's what I thought, too.
32:24
Yeah, because you had said that maybe Sabine had given the
32:27
darksaber Tipo Catan, which this person confirmed is what
32:31
happened. And then the next thing, you
32:34
know, I'm off Gideon has the darksaber and then Mando wins it
32:41
from Mob Gideon, and now, Boca tan.
32:44
Can't just accept it back from man.
32:48
Do I don't understand it just doesn't make it right.
32:52
Yeah. That would that's a gap that
32:54
needs to be filled at some point.
32:55
Yeah. And maybe it's an episode, we
32:57
need to do a little research on and dig into.
32:59
But, yeah, I definitely found that frustrating as well.
33:02
Personally, I agree. I agree.
